book recommendation
Hi guys - FYI: I'm working through the C 1 Pro 9 book by Sascha Erni & find it well worth the money. He goes through each of the tools in depth & gives lots of tips. Pro 10 isn't that much different than 9 so it doesn't seem outdated.

I'm working with this book too. Helps a lot! It isn't especially clear always, so I need lots of perseverance. For example in the Global Tools chapter where Erni writes about the Focus Mask. I hunted and hunted for the Focus Mask icon; Erni doesn't say where it is. Turns out I had to customize the Global Tool bar to add it. But now that I've got it and read the chapter on how to use focus mask in conjunction with the loupe, I think it's going to be a useful feature to have on hand for photos from my manual focus lenses -- I can quickly eliminate the pictures that aren't focused well.
So if you've got the patience to think through the paragraphs & to click on features you *thought* you knew well enough, you'll become much more adept with Capture One Pro.0 -

I think that the focus mask button was on the toolbar by default in version 9 (on which the book is based) but isn't in version 10.

The Focus Mask and a couple of other things have been slightly changed between V9 (The book) and V10. It's the first change. other than one or two additional features, that I can recall since about V6.
Older features less widely used are retained but, as you found, may need to be re-deployed as a user preference in some cases. Be sure to save your personal workspace with its own name for future use.
I think the Focus Mask is notably useful for Portrait and possibly product/macro work. Best checked at 100% zoom.

In addition to the book, don't forget to watch the very informative webinars by David Grover, on Phase One's YouTube channel. 0
